This comprehensive introduction to the nature and variety of religious phenomena, belief, and practice provides the reader with an understanding of what religion is, of the universal forms of religious experience, and of the basic concepts that make up a religious worldview.

Divided into three parts, Part I covers the problem of defining religion; the importance of the study of religion; and the methods used in the study of religion. Part II covers the sacred and holy; religious symbolism; myth, and doctrine; sacared ritual; sacred scripture; and the social dimensions of religion.

Religious Thought in the Victorian Age: Challenges and Reconceptions

The central purpose of this book is to offer an account of crucial intellectual challenges to traditional British theology, challenges that provoked wide-ranging discussions and decisively shaped British theology. In several instances, they resulted in rather fundamental reconceptions of traditional doctrine and belief. Not all of the conclusions reached in these debates proved enduring, and some efforts to accomodate theology to advances in the sciences proved spurious or unnecessary. Yet even the ill-fated forays and speculations were efforts to respond to new, genuine questions that required answers.Livingston, the dean of Victorian religious history, approaches this subject from a new perspective. By 1860, the religious discussion in Britain had broadened signficantly in two ways. First, the examination of critical theological issues had moved outside the bounds of the established Church of England and its three dominant parties. The discussion now engaged highly respected Roman Catholic, Nonconformist, and secular thinkers of impressive range. Second, the deeper and more consequential debates on matters touching on religion were no longer dominated by clerics and theologians. Livingston demonstrates that the late Victorian decades were a time of vitality and creativity in the educated public's discussion of critical religious and theological matters. Livingston reconceptualizes British religious thought in the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth.
